type() functions

type() functions

It returns type of the given object.
Syntax:
type(object)

Syntax:
type(name, bases, dict)
_name_ : Class name.
_bases_ : A possibly empty tuple containing the bases classes.
_dict_ : Dictionary containing the class’s namespace.

Multiple Assignment

Multiple Assignment

Python allows you to assign a single value to several variables simultaneously.

Example:
a=b=c=5
print(a)
print(b)
print(c)
Output:
5
5
5

Python Literals

Python Literals

- Literals define set of rules to represents value.
- A literals is a function for representing a fixed value.

- Python support two types of literals.
1. Numeric Literals.
2. Non-Numeric Literals.

1. Numeric Literals.
a. Integer Literals
>>> x=100
>>> print("Numeric literal is: ",x)
Numeric literal is:  100

b. Floating point Literals
>>> y=100.23
>>> print("Numeric Float literal is: ",y)
Numeric Float literal is:  100.23

c. List

d. Complex
>>> z=complex(1,2)
>>> print("Numeric Complex literal is: ",z)
Numeric Complex literal is:  (1+2j)

2. Non-Numeric Literals.
a. String Literals
>>> Mystr="wercopypastedeveloper.blogspot.com"
>>> print("String literal is: ",Mystr)
String literal is:  wercopypastedeveloper.blogspot.com

b. Escape Sequence.

3. Boolean literals.
a. True.
>>> a=True
>>> print("Boolean literal is: ",a)
Boolean literal is:  True

b. False.
>>> a=False
>>> print("Boolean literal is: ",a)
Boolean literal is:  False

4. Special literals.
In Python is same as “null”, means, non-existent not known or empty.

5. Literal Collections.

a. Tuples.

b. Lists

c. Sets

d. Dictionaries
>>> b=[1,2,3,4]
>>> print("List literal is: ",b)
List literal is:  [1, 2, 3, 4]

Dict literal is:  {1: 'ONE', 2: 'TWO'}

Python Identifiers

Python Identifiers

- Identifier is the name given to entities like classes, functions, variables, etc. in Python. It helps differentiating one entity from another.

- Rules for writing identifiers.

- Identifiers can be a combination of later in lowercase ( a to z ) or uppercase (A to Z) or underscore(_).

- Names like myClass, var_1 & print_this_to_screen; all are valid example.

- An identifier cannot start with a digit, 1 variable is invalid but variable is valid.

- Keywords cannot be used as identifiers.

Python Keywords

Python Keywords

- Keywords are reserved word whose meaning is reserved by Python translator.

- Keywords cannot used as user defined words.

- Each keyword is a predefined instruction or command.

- Keywords are case sensitive.

- Up to Python 3.3 version support 33 keywords.

Example: 
True, False è Boolean values.
Null è reference value.


Keywords in Python programming languages:

False	class	finally	return
None	continue	for	lambda
True	Def	from	nonlocal
while	And	del	global
not	With	as	elif

String Operations

String Operations

In general, you can’t perform mathematical operations on strings, even if the strings look like numbers.

The + operator performs strings concatenation, which means it joins the strings by linking them end-to-end.

Example:

>>> first="First"
>>> second="Second"
>>> fullstr=first+""+second
>>> print(fullstr)
FirstSecond
>>> print('Spam'*3)
SpamSpamSpam
>>> print("M"*5)
MMMMM

What is String ?

- String is collection of characters, these characters can be alphabets(a-z, A-Z), digits(0-9) and special characters.
- String allows characters available in other languages.
- Python allows to represent string in two formats.
1. Ascii – This string allows only alphabets of English.
2. Unicode – This string allows characters form other languages.

Datatypes:

1. Standard Datatypes:
int
float
complex
boolean

2. Sequence Datatypes:
str
list
tuple
set

- String is a sequence datatypes.
- str is class name, which is used in python to create string objects.

* Special characters in Strings:
In python the backslash(\) character is used to introduce a special character.

Escape Sequence Meaning
\n Newline
\t Horizontal Tab
\\ Backslash
\’ Single Quote
\” Double Quote

Example: 
>>> print("This is Back Slash(\\)Mark")
  
This is Back Slash(\)Mark
>>> print("This is Back Slash \t Mark.")
This is Back Slash Mark.
>>> print("This is Back Slash\n Mark.")
This is Back Slash
 Mark.
>>> print("This is Back Slash \' Single Quatrs \' Marks")
This is Back Slash ' Single Quatrs ' Marks
>>> print("This is \\ slash")
This is \ slash

Define String Slicing?
To cut a substring from a string is called string slicing.
Slicing is a process of dividing a sequence into sub-sequence.
String slicing is dividing string into substring.
Slicing is done in two ways :
1. Using Slice Operator.
2. Using Slice Method.

1. Slice Operator :

Syntax:

[start:stop:step]
[start:]
[:stop]
[::]

Start: starting index and default is 0.
Stop: ending index and default is length.
Step: Incremental or decremental value and default is +1.

Example:

>>> s='PYTHON'
>>> s[:]
'PYTHON'
>>> s[:3]
'PYT'
>>> s[::]
'PYTHON'
>>> s[::3]
'PH'
>>> s[:3]
'PYT'
>>> s[4::]
'ON'
>>> s[3::]
'HON'
>>> s[-1:-6]
''
>>> s[-1:-6:-1]
'NOHTY'
>>> s[-1::-1]
'NOHTYP'
>>> s[-1::1]
'N'
>>> s[-6:-1]
'PYTHO'
>>> s[-6]
'P'
>>> s[0:100]
'PYTHON'
>>> s[0:7]
'PYTHON'
>>> s[9:10]
''
>>> s1=s[-100:-1]
>>> print(s1)
PYTHO


* String Indices or Indexing:

String are arrays of characters and elements of an array can be accessed using indexing. Indices start with 0 from left side and -1 when from right side.

Here two indices are used separated by a colon (:). A slice 3:7 means indices characters of 3rd,4th,5th and 6th positions. The second integer index i.e. 7 is not included. You can use negative indices for slicing.

Each character inside string is identified with unique integer number, which is called index.

Index number can be +ve & -ve.

Positive index is given from 0 to length -1 it allows to read characters from to right.

Negative index is given from -1 to length, it allows to read characters from right to left.

Index allows to read characters from string in seq order or random order.

Each character read from string is again string type.

Syntax:
string_name[index]

If index is invalid, python runtime gives Index_Error.

Example:

s=”PYTHON”
s 
P Y T H O N

Example:

>>> str="Naresh i Technologies"
>>> print(str[0])
N
>>> print(str[-1])
s
>>> print(str[1:4])
are
>>> print(str[:4])
Nare

* How to create string objects?

- Python allows to create string object in two ways.
1. Implicit Creation.
2. Explicit Creation.

1. Implicit Creation:

- This objects is created by python runtime.
- Anything in python represent within
1. ‘ ’
2. “ ”
3. “’ ‘”
is an instance of str class.
-    “’ ‘” allows to represent string in multiple line.

Note :
String is immutable(do not changes) after creating string object. We connot do any changes.

Type Conversion or Type Casting

Type Conversion or Type Casting 

Python defines type conversion functions to directly convert one data type to another which is useful in day to day and competitive programming, type name is used for type conversion.

Function and Description :

int(x[,base])
Converts x to an integer, base specifies the base if x is a string.

float(x)
Converts x to a floating-point number.

str(x)
Converts object x to a string representation. 

list(s)
Converts s to list.

tuple(s)
Convert s to a tuple.

2014
>>> x='2014'
>>> print(type(x),x)
<class 'str'> 2014
>>> x=int(x)
>>> print(type(x),x)
<class 'int'> 2014
>>> print("1001",2)
1001 2
>>> print(int("1001",2))
9
>>> print(int(3.14055))

(5+10j)

Swap Variable

Swap Variable

In Python swap values in a single line and this applies to all objects in python.


Syntax:
var1,var2=var2,var1

Example:
>>> a=10
>>> b=20
>>> print(a)
10
>>> print(b)
20
>>> a,b=b,a
>>> print(a)
20
>>> print(b)
10

Order of Operations

Order of Operations

When an expression contains more then one operator, the order of evaluation depends on the order of operations. For mathematical operators, Python follows mathematical convention. The acronym PEMDAS is a useful way.


PEMDAS

Parentheses Exponentiation Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction.


 Parentheses  :

>>> 3*(3-2)
3
>>> 3*(3-1)
6

Exponentiation  :

>>> 1+2**3
9
>>> 1+2*3
7
>>> 2*6/2
6.0


Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction : 

>>> 1+2*3
7
>>> 2*6/2
6.0
>>> 2*3-1
5
>>> 6+4/2
8.0
>>> 5-1+2*5*4/2
24.0

Operators and Operands

Operators and Operands

Operators are special symbols that represent computations like addition and multiplication. The values the operator is applied to are called operands.

Mnemonic Variable Names

Mnemonic Variable Names

This can confuse beginning students because well-named variables often “sound” so good.

Example:

x1q3z9ocd=35.0
z1q3z9afd=12.50
x1q3p9afd=x1q3z9ocd*z1q3z9afd
print(x1q3p9afd)

• Constants in Python

Fixed values such as numbers, letters and strings are called “constants”.

Variables in Python

Variables in Python

• What is Variable:
A variable is just the name of the variable a value. Variable point to the memory location where data is read and modified.

• Variable in Python:
1. Python Variable Must begin with a letter (a-z, A-Z) or underscore(_).
2. Python Variables should be characters like letters, numbers or (_) underscore.
3. Python Variables are Case Sensitive.
4. Python Variables can be any reasonable length.
5. Python Variable must not be reserved word or keyword.
6. The variable names should be written in camelCase.

Example:
>>>x=”python”
>>>y=10
>>>print(x)
>>>print(y)

Output:
Python
10

Quit the Python Shell

• Quit the Python Shell

It’s easy to end the interactive session : You can either use quit(),exit() or Ctrl+D on UNIX , Ctrl+Z. Enter on Windows (i.e. EOF) to exit.

Python Comments

• Python Comments

Anything after a # is ignored by Python.

Why comment?

• Describe what is going to happen in a sequence of code.

• Document who wrote the code or other ancillary information.

• Turn off a line of code-perhaps temporarily.

Python supports two types of comments:

1. Single lined comment.

2. Multi lined comment.

1. Single Lined Comment:

In Python, we use the hash (#) symbol to start writing a comment .If developer want to only specify one line comment than use single line comment, then comment must start with #.

Example : 

# This is single line comment. ( hash or pound )

print(“Hello”) #This is notification

2. Multi-line Comments:

If we have comments that extend multiple lines, one way of doing it is to use hash(#) in the beginning of each line.

Example:

#This is a comment

#and it extends

#to multiple

Another way of doing this is to use triple quotes.

These triple quotes are generally used for multi-line strings. But they can be used as multi-line comment as well. Unless they are not docs strings, they do not generate any extra code.

Example:

“”” This is also a
